From the main idiot [you go girl!]

I am so sick of all the STUPID people on here! You got the Flippers, the Humaniacs, the BYBs, etc, etc, etc!
BUT……….all of a sudden there is a HUGE increase in “Free to Good Home……………$50 re-homing fee” WTF?!?!?!? What part of FREE do you not understand?!?! If you want to sell your dog or “adopt out” your pet or “re-home” your animal—then do it–but dang STOP with the free with re-home fee. It shows that you are an IDIOT.
ALSO—to the Morons that post “MUST GO TODAY——-only $200”—-you show what an absolute LOSER you are. You took an animal and when it is not convenient for you—you just toss it out in a day’s time—for $$$$$. Too bad your Parents didn’t sell you to some 3rd World “Farmer”.

They keep on getting more and more slicker. This one says, “no pay, but the journey will be worth it.” What journey?!! The journey to drive my ass over to your busted ass studio and perform a service for free? Get real, “REAL RAPPER.”

OK…enough with the NO PAY…WORK FOR EXPOSURE….BARTER all of that.There is actually some people on here with some REAL skills, and if you seek out those people to make your project better, you are going to have to pay.No one in this time, and day can afford to work for free.I understand that there might be a LOT of people trying to do things on a shoe string, but at least pay people SOMETHING for their time and effort to make your dream/project look professional.I myself have invested a LOT of money into becoming very good in my craft as a Makeup Artist, and therefor I do expect to get payed, like EVERYONE else.
I think it’s wrong that people try to take advantage.And with people not wanting to pay Photographer’s, Film Makers, Stylist’s, Makeup Artist’s or whatever it may be, you are telling us that you are not respecting our craft.But yet you seek out our expertise.
So PLEASE people think about it next time when you put up a NO PAYMENT add, that you don’t want anyone to take advantage of you either.

P.S I’m sure that one of you NON paying people are gonna flag this as well…but you might as well make it your full time job then, as I AND my fellow hard working people are going to continue posting these till everyone put a STOP to the FREE labor…your time is OVER.

I’m not the person who has been commenting on recent job postings, but I do agree with a lot of what he is saying (if not the way he says it). It is disheartening and a bit insulting for people to come on to Craigslist and try to get people to work for nothing, or try to make them do illegal things (like create screen scrapers). And please, for goodness’ sake, don’t come and post something like this:

“I need to download some data from my old computer to my laptop. Is a very simple task but I don’t know how to do it. It shouldn’t take more than an hour.”

You know that it’s a simple task, and you say you don’t know how to do it, yet you know how long it will take? Make up your mind. Either you do know how long it will take, in which case you also know how to do it (and should bloody well do it yourself!), or you DON’T know how to do it, and therefore also have NO IDEA how long it will take, and therefore should allow those of us who DO know how to do it tell you how much it will cost us to do it for you.

Times are rough, and seeing such witless ads only makes things worse, so please, job/gig posters, THINK BEFORE YOU POST ADS HERE…PLEASE.

Thank you.

“Creative Gigs” means jobs that are paid. This doesn’t mean, let me try to get someone to transport their equipment and lend there skills for nothing. Oh wait, you said you have an aspiring singing. Aspiring singers have to pay their dues just like everyone else. Once they are famous, I’m sure everyone will want to pay for their image “if” they get famous. Until then, stop being such a deadbeat and expect something for nothing. Their ad below.
